Die Kunst der Moderne, insbesondere die Lyrik, entwickelt eine eigene ästhetische Konzeption der Bewegung, die mit der klassischen Vorstellung der Bewegung als räumlicher Veränderung eines Körpers in der Zeit bricht. Baudelaires À une Passante, Rimbauds Bateauivre und Paul Valérys Le Cimetière marin sind drei paradigmatische Texte der französischen Moderne, in denen Bewegung als zeiträumliches Kontinuum reflektiert und in der Dynamik der Sprache materialisiert wird. Die moderne Kunst, so erweist sich, ist selbst Bewegung und stiftet Bewegung. Sie wird zu einer Kunst des Werdens, nicht der Substanz, zu einer Kunst der reinen sinnlichen Wahrnehmung, nicht des Begriffes, zu einer Kunst der diskontinuierlichen Erlebnisse, nicht der Erfahrung.<br><br>The art of the modern age, particularly the lyric poetry, develops an own aesthetic conception of the movement which breaks with the classic idea of the movement as a spatial change of a body in time. Baudelaires À une Passante, Rimbauds Bateau ivre and Paul Valérys Le Cimetière Marin are three paradigmatic texts of the French modern age, in which movement is reflected as a time-space-continuum and materialized in the dynamic of language. Modern art is itself movement and causes movement. It becomes an art of the development, not sub- stance, an art of pure sensory perception, not concept, an art of discontinuous adventures, not experience.

Background: STIs, principally HIV/AIDS, are public health problems that are transmitted by sexual risk behaviours, which have been associated with the sexual sensation seeking (an specific personality factor). In South American context, there are no measurement instruments with psychometric evidence for their use and, in other contexts, only the Sexual sensation seeking scale (Kalichman et al., 1994) is available, which is outdated in content and validity evidence. The purpose of this work is development a scale, in accordance with contemporary psychometric standards, to assess sexual sensation seeking for South Americans young people and adults. Method: instrumental study, with time-space sampling (n=813) of undergraduate students from the two Chilean cities with the highest rates of HIV. Results: Final scale have 8 items to assess two dimensions: 1) sexual emotions seeking; and 2) tendency to sexual boredom. The identified structure provides adequate levels of reliability (ω&gt; .8; α&gt; .7), presents validity evidence, based on the internal structure of the test, using CFA and ESEM (CFI&gt; .95, TLI&gt; .95, RMSEA &lt;. 06), and based on the convergence with other measures (sexual activity with multiple partners, inadequate or insufficient use of protective barriers and sexual activity under the influence of alcohol or drugs). Conclusions: The Multidimensional Scale of Sexual Sensation Seeking evidence adequate psychometric properties to evaluate the search for sexual sensations in equivalents samples.

Are there any common patterns in the transition processes from traditional and more or less sustainable forest management to exploitative use, which can regularly be observed both in central Europe and in the countries of the South (e.g. India or Indonesia)? Attempts were made with a time-space-model to typify those force fields, in which traditional sustainable forest management is undermined and is then transformed into a modern type of sustainable forest management. Although it is unlikely that the history of the North will become the future of the South, the glimpse into the northern past offers a useful starting point for the understanding of the current situation in the South, which in turn could stimulate the debate on development. For instance, the patterns which stand behind the conflicts on forest use in the Himalayas are very similar to the conflicts in the Alps. In the same way, the impact of socio-economic changes on the environment – key word ‹globalisation› – is often much the same. To recognize comparable patterns can be very valuable because it can act as a stimulant for the search of political, legal and technical solutions adapted to a specific situation. For the global community the realization of the way political-economic alliances work at the head of the ‹globalisationwave›can only signify to carry on trying to find a common language and understanding at the negotiation tables. On the lee side of the destructive breaker it is necessary to conserve and care for what survived. As it was the case in Switzerland these forest islands could once become the germination points for the genesis of a cultural landscape, where close-to-nature managed forests will constitute an essential element.
